The Jewish emergency in Ru¬ mania lias remindSd the Yiddish, press there that in medieval times the Jews used the letters SGL as the Hebrew equivalent for SOS, SGL being the initial letters of the Hebrew worda ^'sakonah ged- ola lonu," which means "we aro in great danger".. .Jewa who bear the nnmo Segal or any,of ita var¬ iants are supposed to be descend- anta of families who once' were subject .to gravq danger. ..A Ger¬ man Jewess by the name ot Anna Liza Hcrzfeld has devised a novel plan of revenging herself upon Nazis for tho insults' they heap npog Jews.;,A beautiful blonde of twenty-fiVo sho' has become a specialist in Rassenschande cases, going out of her way to ensnare Nazis with her charms...She haa made no bones about her iTewiah- neaa, but her beauty has blinded nt least two dozen Nazia to the danger of becoming too chummy with a Jewess binder the Nurem- terg laws...Then she denounces her admirers to the police, and uppers against them at tho en¬ suing trial.. .This ghastly story, vouched for by ao reliable a paper as the Nationaltidonto of Copen¬ hagen, ia indicative of the deapair to which German Jews have been driven.,.

Similar views, wero voiced by other Jewish Icpders at other meet¬ ings, notably Moritz Eosenthai, vice-president of the Jewiah com¬ munity. Rosenthal aaid "our Ger¬ man emigres, muat be prepared to understand and to accept whole¬ heartedly the new conditiona under which they are s^oing to live. Only in thia way can they avoid creat¬ ing hostility in their surround¬ ings. He also urged the Britiah dominions to permit German Jews •to settlo in their thinly populated areas, emphasizing that while fow Britons wore willing to go thore "we Jews, on the other hand, would willingly go as pioneers .to auch landa to help upbuild them."
Dr. Stahl alao warned German Jewry that thoae who leave can never expect to return since pass¬ ports are no longer being issued to Jews except on their promise to emigrate for good.

Crowd Jams Carnegie Hall To Protest Five Years Of Hitler Terror
NEW YORK (WNS)—Intensifl- eatlDn of tho anti-Nazi boycott and a united front against dictatorship and for democracy wero the key¬ notes of all the speakers who ad¬ dressed an overflow rally at Car¬ negie Hall sponsored by the Non- Sectarian Anti-Nazi Leaguo aa a proteat against fivo years of the Hitler terror in Germany. More than 3500 people jammed Carnegie Hall and as many were turned away. A slight disturbance waa created outside when Nazi sympa¬ thizers attacked an anti-Nazi picket but ho waa reacued by the police. Inside thore was an up¬ roar for a time when Representa¬ tive Hamilton Fiah found himself booed by a group of Communist sympathizers after he had includ¬ ed Comraunlata in his denunciation of Fascist and Nazis.

In hia meaaage Mayor La Guar¬ dia aaid: " . . .five yearp ago c vicious blow waa struck at democ¬ racy' and human freedom when Adolf Hitler and Nazism assumed power in Germany. Today the issue of protection and extension of de¬ mocracy becomes ever a more burning one. Dictatorship has cre¬ ated a grave menace to tbe peace of the world. To think any one man might bring on another world war is appalling. Dictatorship in \vhatever form it appears is a hate¬ ful thing. It means oppresaion, cruelty, deprivation of the rights of tho minoritiea, religious intol¬ erance, annihilation of ,the labor movement and a clear backward atep in history. It becomca ever moro appaient 'that thoso groupa like' youra, fighting againat the ravages of dictatorahips, must unite in common cause with all friends of democracy, to stem the tide of reaction and aaaure the eatnbllahmcnt of democracy and freedom in the world."

Eabbi Samuel Gup officiated at tha funeral services Wednesday morning at the Schoedinger Chapel which were attended hy hundreds of frienda and admirers of the de¬ ceaaed. '
Aa the senior member of the firm of Archer-Meek-H a i; m o n, formed in 1928, Mr. Harmon won the respect and admiration ot his fellow citizens thru bia conacien-* tioua and upright business me¬ thods. Possessing a magnetic per¬ sonality, an amiable disposition and keen sense of^humor, Al had during hia 32 yeara in tha inaur¬ anco field endeared himself to all with whom© be cama in contact.

Surviving are his wife, Mca. Amy W. Harmonj a daughter, Phyllis; a aon, AUred Harnioq, jr., 1815 Franklin Ave. and a brother, M. G. Harmon of Tioy, N. Y'.
president of the Council nnd rep¬ reaentatives of England and France, hna been named by tho League of Nationa Council to stu¬ dy Jewish petitions protesting Eu- mania's violation of the 1919 mi¬ norities treaty through its anti- Jewish program. This committee will e^camine tho petitions immedi¬ ately in order to give Eumania an opportunity to comment on them beforo the committeo reporta. It is expected tho report will be ready before the May meeting of tho Council.
This disposition of the Eumani-' an-Jewiah question kept it from be¬ ing publicly diacuased at an open aession of the Council.  An attempt by the Engliah and French repre- sentativca to win from Eumania promise to suspend anti-Jewiah meaaurcs until after tho Eumani¬ an    parliamentary"  elections    in March failed because Premier Go¬ ga refused to  be bound by tho agreement   of   Foreign   Minister Istrato. At the private session at which the appointment of the com¬ mittee was decided upon the Brit¬ ish   apokeaman   warhed  Kumania that England would demand an ex¬ traordinary session of-the" Council if   the  anti-Jewish  measures al¬ ready   decreed   were   enforced. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden of England and Yvon Delbos of Franco indicated  that they  had agreed   to   keep   tho   Eumanian- Jewish question oft the floor of the Council becauae they felt that private diplomatic preasura on Eu¬ mania would he more effective at this time.   Their action was also based on the fear that Eumania might have repudiate!^ iheaslndti'' ty troatiea if the Council had pub¬ licly diacassed the question.
BUCHAREST (WNS)—There will bo no pogroms in Eumania,re¬ gardless of what the govemment decides to do about the Jewish problem. King Carol declared' in statement to American corres¬ pondents. "Wa have a Jewish problem and wa are -wrestling with it," he said, but "how ultimately tha problem is to be met is not altogether clear, but the first and important point of our policy will be that there shall he no-violence to Jews. Of that we are certain." Referring to America's interest in tho Jewiah situation, the King said "it is understandable that the United States should be intereated in developments here because you yourself have many Jewa, certain¬ ly more than we. It is understandr able that in aome quarters there might bo concern. But it may be stated on tha highest authority that Rumania contemplates no in¬ humanities. How in all its phaacs the problom is to be met cannot- be atated definitely now."       ,
With regard to plana for maas expulsions of Jews and their colo¬ nization elaewhere, Carol said tho government has not yet given the matter detailed study, but added " we should ba relieved, of eourae, to aeo some of our Jews leave vol¬ untarily, but thera has been no study of the possibility of sending them in numbers and no thought of ¦where thoy might go. Such an approach to the prpblom hardly
tion.nl action, and no one yet hns taken tho initiative in it."
Premier Goga seconded tha 'King'a remarks, declaring "neither today nor at any other time will there be acts of'terroriarn againat tho Jews or anything resembling a pogrom."
Meanwhile new anti-Jewish de¬ crees piled up.   Minister of Labor Georg Cuza forbado tho employ¬ ment of Jewish waiters in restau¬ rants, cafes, bara, pastry shops and coffee housea and ordered them re- ' placed   by   Christian   Rumanians. Mass haptiamals among Jews be¬ came a serious poaaibility as Min¬ ister of Culture Ion Lupas announc¬ ed a forthcoming   decree   wiiich would declara illegal all civil mar¬ riages between Jews and Ruman¬ ians unless tho Jewish parties to tho marriage   embrace   Orthodox Chriatianity and agreed to remar-   . rIage in church ceremonies.   Tho decree ia expected to allow auch J^ws 30 days to make up theitminda.An¬ other de6ree preventing intermar¬ riage between Jews and Christians Is also being drafted.   These im- minent measures created the fear  - that children of mixed marriages who havo been raised as Jews may bo forcibly converted.   Jews havo also been ordered excluded from tha teaching profession and from sports.
A spontaneous and unorganized but mass movement to boycott tho government's program for revis¬ ing citizenship papers is spreading like -wildfire among the Jews. From all parts of tho country ia is re¬ ported that 'Jews ara lefnsine to present themsleves before ^he, Ifc,., eal-"" niagistrsjies assigned i6i'bx» ' amine citizenship^ papers. Under¬ lying this paaaivi boycott ia tha feeling that if hundreds of thou¬ sands of Jewa do not submit their papers the govemraent will be fac¬ ed with the alternative of giving up tha revision program or deport¬ ing half a million poople. In tbe litter event the government would ' find itaelf unable to proceed be¬ cause it is impossible to expel half a million people en masse.
NEW YOEK (WNS)—Further • representatiojis to Eumania on Its treatment of the JevfS wero urged upon the United States govern¬ ment in one of 8 series of resolu¬ tions adopted at an emergency con- ' ference of tha administrative and executivB committees ot the Ameri¬ can Jewiah Con'gress, The confer¬ ence called upon the United States to make immcdiato and direct rep¬ resentations to Jiumania "with a view to bringing about restoration of tho* rights of which Jews have already been deprived and the es¬ tablishment of safeguards to pre¬ vent the equality status of Jews within tho United Kingdom from being infringed upon now or sub¬ sequently." Another resolution urged the creation of a united dem¬ ocratic front in behalf of the Ru¬ manian Jewa, In a cablegram sent to the League of Nations it waa declared that "the Jewiah popula¬ tion of Kumania will not he satis¬ fied with leaa than equality^ to Svlilch they are entitled hy all con¬ siderations ot humanity and legal pledges mada in solemn covenant."
